Shobhit,
    I have replied to your ITP; tomcat5.5 is in experimental.  The
Debian Developers Reference is a great (and essential) guide to getting
started; the specific secction on what to do before filing an ITP can be
found here:

http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-newpackage

    While it only explicitly specifies checking the WNPP, the underlying
assumption is that one will have checked the distributions as well for a
pre-existing package.  Best wishes in your endeavors and welcome aboard.

Regards,
